How are they costing us that much when they contribute their labor to our biggest outsourced industry? How much would it cost us to hire minimum wage workers to work in the fields and factories? We'd have a 40 Billion dollar deficit. Of course they won';t do anything illegals are making companies billions with their cheap labor.

Without the crutch of cheap labor, there would be even more incentive to mechanize and push costs even father down. I saw something a long time about about how ancient Greece basically had the steam engine but since they had plenty of slaves, there wasn't much need for labor saving devices, and the invention never went anywhere. Imagine how much farther along we'd be if the industrial revolution had begun 2,000 years ago. Look at Japan today. They have a lot of old people and not enough young people to take care of them. Now look at the advances they're making in robotics. As the old saying goes, necessity is the mother of invention. Don't fear for your cheap carrots.

I don't know if I want terminator touching my produce, I also don't know "how much further" along we actually are as a species. We are on the brink of self-inflicted extinction, the Greeks, Romans, and Byzantines never had to worry about that.
